30. Moving Past Failure with Kye Fox

On this episode of Tiny Conversations Kye Fox discusses facing failure and overcoming failure to follow your dreams.
Kye is a stand-up comedian in Toronto. Back in 2012 Kye was about to take the stage at a charity comedy show with some of his biggest idols. Kye was a young comedian and he thought this was his big break….and then he bombed.
Kye went off book – he delivered an impromptu set riddled with awkward jokes and guilty confessions and the worst thing that can happen to a comedian happened…no one in the audience laughed.
It was so bad that Kye quit comedy for over 2 years. But now he’s back, has a successful show at Toronto’s Comedy Bar and is touring the country.
I sat down with Kye to talk about what happened that night and why he came back to comedy.
